1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nc3 e6 4.Nf3 Bb4 5.Bf4 Nf6 6.e3 Ne4 7.Qc2 Qd5 8.Qa4+ Bd7
{The first bad move of the game was his. And, I win the bishop.}
9.Qxb4 Na6
{It's downward spiral time for Xiques. I saw the correct response to this threat and end up with a Knight for my troubles. I am now up a Knight and a Bishop with the Ladies off the board.}
10.Nxd5 Nxb4 11.Nxc7+
{Hmm, I actually didn't go for the but instead went for the Rook, if he'd played Kd7, then I'd just be up the exchange, but he stayed on the 8th rank and blocked the line of his other rook.}
11...Kd8 12.Nxa8 Nc2+ 13.Kd1 Nxa1
{Well, at least I'm still up a bishop.}
14.Bxc4
{Wow, I totally missed that he could do it again with Nxf2+. Luckily so did he. We'd be back to an even score if he didn't.}
14...Ba4+ 15.b3 Bc6 16.Ke2 Nc3+
{He gets a little over excited with his knights and lets me attack them both, so one has to go.}
17.Kd3 f5
{This move makes no sense.}

{Black moves into a forced mate, my bishops are nasty and unstoppable.}
29.Bf6+ Kc8 30.Bf5+ Kb8 31.Be5+ Ka8 32.Be4#
{Black king mated}
1-0
